Unlocking happens as a separate operation on the server after the commit
which means it is possible for unlocking to fail after the commit itself
has succeeded. Whether the client finds out about the failure depends
on the server implementation. Both mod_dav_svn and svnserve hide the
error from the client see:

   mod_dav_svn/version.c:release_locks
   svnserve/serve.c:unlock_paths
